Texicans are tough on illegal immigrants, well except when an employer needs employees. They require E-Verify unless the employers isn't working for the state. Wonder if Ted Cruz and Rick Perry ever took any money from the cheap labor movement?

Some immigrant rights activists complain that governments, though eager to target workers in the country illegally, protect the employers who hire them. Texas Democrats have come up with a term to describe this situation ? a twist on the phrase ?sanctuary cities? ? that JoAnn Flemming, executive director of the conservative group Grassroots America, says she can agree with.
?It's called ?sanctuary businesses/industry,?? she said. ?That makes a lot of Republicans mad when you use that term, but the fact of the matter is that there is a strong cheap labor lobby in Texas, and they give a lot of money to candidates and they have a lot of influence.?
